HOROSCOPE<br />
Aries<br />
Last month was a roller coaster ride of fun<br />
and excitement. Don’t forget that there are<br />
still responsibilities to be tended to and if you<br />
don’t take care of those, your fun could come<br />
to an abrupt end.<br />
Taurus<br />
Change is the big word for you, Taurus. The<br />
stars we aligning and your life, while not a<br />
picnic, is getting more clear. You will need an<br />
action plan soon or you will get behind on<br />
progress. Get to it!<br />
Gemini<br />
Your professional life is taking a major turn this<br />
month, Gemini, and you feel unsure if whether<br />
this is a good thing or a bad. Stop and think<br />
about it, how long have you been waiting for<br />
a change? Why not listen to yourself and take<br />
the opportunity?<br />

Cancer<br />
Pioneering a new path in your life will allow you<br />
to have the ability to take control. What is most<br />
important, however, is that you are learning from<br />
your experiences, Cancer. Don’t get so full of<br />
yourself that you forget you are still learning the<br />
ropes, or you will fail.<br />

Remember your family, they are what matters<br />
most right now. You don’t always give them time,<br />
but they will understand. Getting in touch with<br />
your roots will help you in the long run and you<br />
will learn a thing of two that you’ve overlooked<br />
somehow. Just stay away from that pesky relative<br />
who thinks they know everything already.<br />

Not listening to your intuition can be a<br />
serious downfall of yours, Scorpio. Why do<br />
you set yourself up for failure when you<br />
know that you just need to listen to your<br />
heart a little more? Take some time and refocus<br />
on yourself. You need to start considering<br />
your inner voice.<br />
Sagittarius<br />

career aspects and they will keep your name<br />

remember, not everyone is on your side.<br />
Choose wisely who you confi de in and don’t<br />
play too many angles, or it will bite you.<br />

Capricorn<br />
When you realize what is dearest to you, you<br />
can fi nally let your mind and heart rest. Recent<br />
months have brought on a lot of energy and a<br />
whirlwind of change. Thinking about where you<br />
come from and where you are going will help<br />
with easing your mind.<br />
Aquarius<br />
This is a positive month for transformation for<br />
you, Aquarius. Taking advantage of your new<br />
experiences and using them for good will make<br />
you a better person. Think about how others can<br />
benefi t from your knowledge and don’t be afraid<br />
to share it.<br />

Pisces<br />
Have you ever listened to a song and thought<br />
it was written just for you? Musical nostalgia will<br />
be permeating into your life this month and that<br />
means some old fl ames might be doing the same.<br />
It’s OK to get caught up in the fun of it all, but<br />
remember, it’s in the past for a reason.
